THE AMERICAN WAY
1964 Carpetbagger
The Real Enemy
The administration's war on poverty should not blind
us to the need for another assault—an all-out war on federal
prodigality.
Wasteful spending of tarpayers' funds is the arch enemy of national well-being- and we strongly recommend that
the Congress mount a hard-hitting, unrelenting campaign
to rout it.
To launch its offensive with telling force the Congress
could make very good use of the National Ass'n. of Manufacturers' authorative budget study which holds that President Johnson's request for $103.7 billion in spencing authority could be cut by $6.5 billion without lessening defense
expenditures or having anything but a beneficia1 effect on
Ameiican living standards. Such a reduction, the NAM says,
would bring-a $3.9 billion slash in the President's 1965 administrative budget—reducing it from $97.9 bil ion to an
even $94 billion. The balance of the cut would apply to
future years.
In pointing up the need for cuts, the NAM said they
must be made to compensate for the tax reduction; to prevent a build-up in spending in fiscal years after 1965, and
to assure final spending in 1965 below the President's estimate.
The deepest cuts would be made in spending for foreign
aid, agriculture, space, education and public welfare.
Best of all, the study offers some very sound guid.ines
for achievement of the economy moves. They are:
Stringent congressional screening- and reducing of
executive requests for new spending authority.
.Congressional refusal to enact legislation which would
increase federal participation in areas of state-local, or private, functions and responsibility.
Executive and congressional action' to curtail the scope
and improve the management of existing programs. ■
We're hoping that the first shot in the war on prodigality will soon be fired.
Study of Automation
It has become a kind of cliche of judgment to say that
one thing we do not need in the federal government is any
more commissions. There is some basis for this attitude.
Sometimes it does appear that forming yet another commission to study a, problem is in essence a way of evading a
problem or delaying consideration of it.
It would be foolish, however, to react to this by scorning the commission method of arriving at facts and conclusions.. If the method is intelligently used.—if a group of
able men consider a problem in depth, and if action is then
taken with due regard to their findings—it can make a
great contribution to national progress.
The complex of problems arising from automation comprise one subject that ought to be studied in this way. For
the fact is that,, although industry and labor have severally
been wrestling with this matter for years, no concerted attempt hias yet been made to deal with it on the broad scale
that such a development requires.
A start has been made by President Johnson in his
request that Congress establish a commission on automation and technological change. He envisions a group, drawn
from outside the government, that woud analyze the pace
of suph change, forecast its impact on our society, and
recommend means of increasing the benefits of advanced
technology with a minimum of dislocation and human suffering.
Before Congress goes ahead with this, the question
whether representatives of government should not be in
eluded deserves some thought. There is reason to think that
this problem could best be handled by combining the resources of industry, labor and government; this argues for
having the government firmly involved in the study. But
the important thing, now, is to get started on some such
broad consideration of a problem which challenges our
mettle yet also has in it great promise.
Currency Superstition
We pride ourselves these days on our enlightment and
learning. Scinece, we say, has made great strides in pushing
back the gloom of ignorance. In addition, education has done
wonders in transmitting more knowledge to more people.
Yet consider the plight of the Treasury Department.
Its desire to issue more two dollar bills has run into an odd
sort of a snag.
Not many two dollar bills are seen nowadays because
not many are in circulation: 48 million cei*tificates in contrast to 1.6 billion of the one dollar variety. For reasons of
economy, therefore, it mates sense that more of the larger
denomination be printed. In this worthy objective, however,
the mind has been totally stymied, believe it or not, by
plain, old-fashioned superstition. Many people, apparently,
think the two dollar bill is bad luck!
So the Treasury Department shelved the idea. But to
give up so easily is a backward step.,' If issuance of two
dollar bills in quantity is good economics it should be done,
superstition or no. Government by old wive's tale, so to
speak, is nonsense in an enlightened age*

North Canton
Union Service Marks 150th Anniversary
ZION CONGREGftTiCNS MEET AT ORIGINAL SITE IN NC CEMETERY
Zion United Church of Christ
and Zion Lutheran Church held
a joint service Sunday afternoon June 14, in observance
of their 150th' anniversary.
The service was held at the
Soldier's Monument in North
Canton Cemetery, the site of
the ordinal church, which at
that time served both congregations.
Tickets at Door
The little log structure, erected in 181.4, was the meeting
place for both denominations
until 1881, when the Zion Reformed congregation secured a
lot on South Main St., the site
of the present Zion UCC
Church. The cornerstone was
laid by the Rev. J. H. Beck on
July 24, 1880. At that time the
congregation numbered 44
members — a striking contrast
to the present number of over
1,600. The Rev. Paul V. Helm
Jr. is the present .pastor.
The Zion (Lutheran congregation continued sei-vices in the
old church until 1904, at which
time ground was broken at 237-
243 West Maple St., present site
of Northminster Presbyterian
Church. The present building
was 'constructed at .349 Lindy
Lane in 1960 under the guidance of the present pastor, the
Rev. Walter Ruth. The congregation numbers nearly 700.
The sesquicentennial theme of
the Zion UCC Church is "Now
As Ever — Now If Ever
—Building for Christ." "Faith
of Our Fathers Livirg Still" is
the theme of the Lutheran denomination.

Robert Phillip Wins
Park Naming Contest
Suggests 'Price Park' In Honor Of
Retired Hoover Director
Winner of the JayOee
"Name the Park" contest is
Robert Phillip, 14-year-old
son of William and Irene
Phillip of 713 Giendale. 1
The name selected by the 8th |
grader is "Price Park," in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Harley C.
Price. North Canton City Council is expected to approve the
name at its Monday, June 22,
meeting.
In his entry, Robert said: "I
suggest that the West End Park
be named "Price Park," in
honor of Mr. Harley C. Price,
recently retired director of the
Hoover Co.
"Mr. Price deserves to be remembered for his long years of
outstanding service to the community of North Canton. His
faithful service to his church
shows he is concerned over
spiritual welfare of others. He
nas given much time and money to various colleges, which
proves his great interest in education. He has promoted the
North Canton Library and the
Little Art Gallery, indicating
his love of culture. He -donated
funds to build a planetarium,
showing his interest in science
and astronomy.
"With Christian charity, he
has aided many who are less
fortunate. Because Mr. Price
has done all these things to
help others become better citizens, I think it proper to dedicate the new park in his honor."
Robert will receive his prize,
a bicycle, at the park's July 4
dedication.
Robert, who attends St.
•Paul's Catholic School and
church, says algebra is his favorite subject.
He. also plays the accordion,
collects rock and roll records,
and enjoys swimming, bowling
and miniature golf.
In the next few weeks, Ihe
will be racing his soap box vehicle in the county derby for
the third time.
Watching from the sidelines
when Robert receives his prize
will be his dad, who is employed at Goodyear Aerospace, 'his
mother; sister, Patricia, who is
41; and brothers, Ronald, 9,
and Tom, 15.
Robert's was one of four
chosen by the North Canton Ministerial Assn. from among the

These four were submitted to
the sponsoring group, the Jay-
Cees, who made the final selection.

Sub-committees Start Work, Report
Every Two Weeks; Next Meeting July 6
An improved North Canton may be closer than
recent studies, plans and discussions might indicate.
An architectural firm with worldwide fame has
been hired to stud'y the needs and wishes of the
community and to chart the future development of
North Canton.
Hired in the name of a Citizens Action Committee, the New York firm of Clarke and Rapuano
is being financed by Hoover money.
More than one hundred citizens attended a
meeting in the Hoover High Music Room Monday
night to indicate their interest in accelerated development of the North Canton area.
At this same meeting, conducted by Dr. Ralph
T. Warburton, the Hoover Co. joined forces with
interested citizens in their efforts to make North
Canton a model community.
In fact, according to I. A. Powers, a Hoover vice
president, who represented the firm at Monday's
meeting, the desire is to make North Canton "the
meeting, the desire is to make North Canton one of
the most attractive cities in the United States.
Mr. Powers explained that the reason the company is willing to aid in this redevelopment is because of the genuine interest and strong desire of
H. W. Hoover Jr., president and chairman of the
board, to assist in the betterment of the North Canton community, home of the world-wide famous
home appliance manufacturing complex.
"There is a need now for a
study on just how previous recommendations can be accomplished and new ideas and concepts applied," said one spokesman at the meeting. "We need
further consultation and help in
area planning and development
of our municipality by redevelopment experts."
Just how much help is needed is indicated by the difficulty
of implementing plans and programs developed in the past
several years, including the
more recent Ebasco plan.
While much of Ebasco's recommendations on City legislation and action are already being carried out, the firm's proposals for downtown redevlop-
mnt and the Citizens Committee formed to add to and implement these proposals have
not brought much action in the
first year '(the plan was completed in April, 1963).
How much help will be forthcoming is evident in a quick
check of Clarke and Rapuano's
reputation.
Past performance of the firm
includes planning expressway
projects in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and as
consultants on Stuyvesant Town
and Peter Cooper Village of
New York City.
The firm currentiy is involved in a Nashville, Tenn., Expressway project and a Niagara Parkway for New York
State and most recently as general consultant designer for th
World's Fair at Flushing, N.Y.
Doing most of th North Canton study will be Mike Rapuano, senior partner in the firm.
Specializing in planning and
development for municipalities,
businesses and universities, he
was one of the early winners
of the Prix de Rome, highest
honor made in his field.
Currently president of the
American Academy at Rome,
Mr. Rapuano is a 60-year-old
native New Yorker.
He studied architecture and
landscaping in Rome for three
years following his graduation
from Cornell University in 1927.
Mr. Rapuano, who landscaped the United Nations building
in New York, also designed several exhibits for the New York
World's Fair of 1939-40, as well
as having a hand in the current
fair development.
It was announced at Monday
night's meeting that Mr. Rapuano would arrive in North Canton the first week of July.
The internationally known architect and consultant is expected to complete plans for
the Community Building design
and relocation within the first
month and present a comprehensive re-development program to North Canton citizens
within four to five months.
Gathering information, which
will help Mr. Rapuano's study,
will be the work of various citizens committees.
Eight temporary committees
will start collecting data covering the fields of: annexation,
utilities and industrial acquisition, City Council, School
Board, Public Relations, Traffic flow and streets, clerical
and Community Building.
Committee chairmen will feed
reports to a Central Committee,
whose responsibility will include weekly or bi-weekly publication and distribution of the
information.
Comprising this Central Committee are Jack Geib, Robert
Mathie, Mr. Powers, Fr. Raymond Ste>ger, Mayor Charles
Strausser and Dr. Warburton.
The next meeting of the Citizens Action Committee has
been set for 8 p.m., July 6, at
Hoover High.
No Place To Go
You're a stranger in town—
your car breaks down— you're
stranded overnight, you, your
wife and the four kids. Where
to go?
Fortunately, you brought
along a little' extra cash, in case
of emergency, so the family
won't be forced to turn to the
park bench.
•Perhaps a handy motel, hotel
or even a tourist home.
However, if that stranger
fo'und himself in North Canton,
he would be lost.
Hotel - there is none. (Unless
this incident had happened at
the turn of the century). Motel - the nearest is in Canton or
Massillon. A tourist home, then.
No such luck.
In former days, the Chief of
Police might have offered the
jail facilities (cramped as they
would be). However, these are
now reserved only for those issued "special invitations."
The car won't make it another lap, until it's overhauled.
You find it's too far to walk.
"Taxi, taxi." Try the telephone.
While you're looking in the
phone book for a cab company,
why not call for a reservation.
Finally, a bed to rest weary
heads and soothe jangled
nerves.
After a good night's sleep,
stranger and family are welcome to return to 'North Canton
for breakfast — the town does
have some nice restaurants.
Your car's ready now. You
must be on your way? So sorry
to see you go. Come back Bind,
visit us again soon. The wel»
come mat is always out.

suggest that the West End Park
be named "Price Park," in
honor of Mr. Harley C. Price,
recently retired director of the
Hoover Co.
"Mr. Price deserves to be remembered for his long years of
outstanding service to the community of North Canton. His
faithful service to his church
shows he is concerned over
spiritual welfare of others. He
nas given much time and money to various colleges, which
proves his great interest in education. He has promoted the
North Canton Library and the
Little Art Gallery, indicating
his love of culture. He -donated
funds to build a planetarium,
showing his interest in science
and astronomy.
"With Christian charity, he
has aided many who are less
fortunate. Because Mr. Price
has done all these things to
help others become better citizens, I think it proper to dedicate the new park in his honor."

a bicycle, at the park's July 4
dedication.

Sub-committees Start Work, Report
Every Two Weeks; Next Meeting July 6
An improved North Canton may be closer than
recent studies, plans and discussions might indicate.
An architectural firm with worldwide fame has
been hired to stud'y the needs and wishes of the
community and to chart the future development of
North Canton.
Hired in the name of a Citizens Action Committee, the New York firm of Clarke and Rapuano
is being financed by Hoover money.
More than one hundred citizens attended a
meeting in the Hoover High Music Room Monday
night to indicate their interest in accelerated development of the North Canton area.
At this same meeting, conducted by Dr. Ralph
T. Warburton, the Hoover Co. joined forces with
interested citizens in their efforts to make North
Canton a model community.
In fact, according to I. A. Powers, a Hoover vice
president, who represented the firm at Monday's
meeting, the desire is to make North Canton "the
meeting, the desire is to make North Canton one of
the most attractive cities in the United States.
Mr. Powers explained that the reason the company is willing to aid in this redevelopment is because of the genuine interest and strong desire of
H. W. Hoover Jr., president and chairman of the
board, to assist in the betterment of the North Canton community, home of the world-wide famous
home appliance manufacturing complex.
"There is a need now for a
study on just how previous recommendations can be accomplished and new ideas and concepts applied," said one spokesman at the meeting. "We need
further consultation and help in
area planning and development
of our municipality by redevelopment experts."
Just how much help is needed is indicated by the difficulty
of implementing plans and programs developed in the past
several years, including the
more recent Ebasco plan.
While much of Ebasco's recommendations on City legislation and action are already being carried out, the firm's proposals for downtown redevlop-
mnt and the Citizens Committee formed to add to and implement these proposals have
not brought much action in the
first year '(the plan was completed in April, 1963).
How much help will be forthcoming is evident in a quick
check of Clarke and Rapuano's
reputation.
Past performance of the firm
includes planning expressway
projects in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and as
consultants on Stuyvesant Town
and Peter Cooper Village of
New York City.
The firm currentiy is involved in a Nashville, Tenn., Expressway project and a Niagara Parkway for New York
State and most recently as general consultant designer for th
World's Fair at Flushing, N.Y.
Doing most of th North Canton study will be Mike Rapuano, senior partner in the firm.
Specializing in planning and
development for municipalities,
businesses and universities, he
was one of the early winners
of the Prix de Rome, highest
honor made in his field.
Currently president of the
American Academy at Rome,
Mr. Rapuano is a 60-year-old
native New Yorker.
He studied architecture and
landscaping in Rome for three
years following his graduation
from Cornell University in 1927.
Mr. Rapuano, who landscaped the United Nations building
in New York, also designed several exhibits for the New York
World's Fair of 1939-40, as well
as having a hand in the current
fair development.
It was announced at Monday
night's meeting that Mr. Rapuano would arrive in North Canton the first week of July.
The internationally known architect and consultant is expected to complete plans for
the Community Building design
and relocation within the first
month and present a comprehensive re-development program to North Canton citizens
within four to five months.
Gathering information, which
will help Mr. Rapuano's study,
will be the work of various citizens committees.
Eight temporary committees
will start collecting data covering the fields of: annexation,
utilities and industrial acquisition, City Council, School
Board, Public Relations, Traffic flow and streets, clerical
and Community Building.
Committee chairmen will feed
reports to a Central Committee,
whose responsibility will include weekly or bi-weekly publication and distribution of the
information.
Comprising this Central Committee are Jack Geib, Robert
Mathie, Mr. Powers, Fr. Raymond Ste>ger, Mayor Charles
Strausser and Dr. Warburton.
The next meeting of the Citizens Action Committee has
been set for 8 p.m., July 6, at
Hoover High.
No Place To Go
You're a stranger in town—
your car breaks down— you're
stranded overnight, you, your
wife and the four kids. Where
to go?
Fortunately, you brought
along a little' extra cash, in case
of emergency, so the family
won't be forced to turn to the
park bench.
•Perhaps a handy motel, hotel
or even a tourist home.
However, if that stranger
fo'und himself in North Canton,
he would be lost.
Hotel - there is none. (Unless
this incident had happened at
the turn of the century). Motel - the nearest is in Canton or
Massillon. A tourist home, then.
No such luck.
In former days, the Chief of
Police might have offered the
jail facilities (cramped as they
would be). However, these are
now reserved only for those issued "special invitations."
The car won't make it another lap, until it's overhauled.
You find it's too far to walk.
"Taxi, taxi." Try the telephone.
While you're looking in the
phone book for a cab company,
why not call for a reservation.
Finally, a bed to rest weary
heads and soothe jangled
nerves.
After a good night's sleep,
stranger and family are welcome to return to 'North Canton
for breakfast — the town does
have some nice restaurants.
Your car's ready now. You
must be on your way? So sorry
to see you go. Come back Bind,
visit us again soon. The wel»
come mat is always out.
